Abstract

It often occurs that one wishes to have a series of photographs of varying sharpness degradation with well defined MTFs that (1) is prepared quickly without laborious work, and (2) correlates linearly with subjective sharpness judgements (at constant gradation).

Here, the sharpness degradation S was produced by a variable number of diffusion sheets used in contact-printing. Their influence on the sharpness degradation process turned out to be linear and independent, with the contribution of a single diffusion sheet “S” on the MTF being:

Zusammenfassung

Es passiert oft, dass man eine Serie fotografischer Bilder von verschiedener Schärfe und wohldefinierter MüF brauchen könnte. Diese sollte aber (1) rasch und ohne mühsame Vorarbeiten herstellbar sein und (2) mit der subjektiven Schärfebeurteilung linear korrelieren.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die Unschärfe S mittels einer variablen Anzahl “Diffusion Sheets” im Kontaktkopierprozess erzeugt, wobei sich herausstellte, dass dieser Prozess linear und unabhängig ist, sodass der Beitrag eines einzelnen “Diffusion Sheets” “S” zur MüF
